The Story:

[FLYING CARS, DAMMIT!]

Let's be honest, the moment Seth saw that there were flying cars, he knew what the first thing he was going to do was. Sure he had what passed for money in this place, and he had a lot of options that meant he could just get himself a car and enjoy it for as long as he wanted.

Yeah, that wasn't nearly as entertaining as seeing if he could obtain a car. In the end, Seth Gecko was a thief and damned if being in Wonderland where the closet pretty much gave you what you wanted hadn't made him complacent even in a short time. It was time to ensure that having the things he wanted in the world - people and wardrobe and everything else combined - hadn't destroyed his skills.

So he is likely to toy with a few of them, working on finding those that are easy to open, trying to figure out the dynamics enough to hot wire the car. In the end he finds one left running though, and that is what he borrows for a while. Definitely flying like he drives, fast, controlled, dangerous. There's times he'll stop, maybe try another one he might find. Easy to find when he's not showing off.

[FUN BEFORE BUSINESS]

When he's not driving, or working on the heist that had become the best part of this event Wonderland had dropped them in, Seth is just doing what he can to have fun. Trying various alien liquors, enjoying some, avoiding others, assured some of them were going to eventually leave him under the table.

There's dancing in there, mostly from the alcohol and he's enjoying himself. Some time spent in the arena, finding it a good practice as well as entertaining with the laser tag with others and against the "house". Even the arcade gets hit up, for reasons that are all about him just enjoying himself and totally not trying to win a prize for Kate or anything. It didn't make up for all he'd done to her, but he believed in their life here, Richie, Seth and Kate. The people she wanted in his life.

"Yeah, it has to be more than that," he admits. "Why else the rest of us? It's not like this place doesn't seem pretty full of people."

He snorts, shaking his head. "I can think of answers, but they all suck and are about people being dicks," he notes, which is totally not saying personal amusement while saying just that.

"Can't say I'm gonna argue with you there," says Tim, lightly, as though they're discussing little more than the weather and not the machinations of a potentially genius loci in the middle of a goddamned flying car in a mnemonic reproduction of someone else's homeworld.

You know, normal stuff.

"But speaking of which, I'd kinda like to be on the ground now." If it's not too much trouble.

[screwedontight]

Entirely normal when you were calling Wonderland home these days. Which was probably the most disturbing moment in Seth's time so far in Wonderland.

"Right. Fine," he said, smirking as he shifted the gears, letting the car fairly coast downward, the most sedate "driving" he had done. "Thanks for the insight. I'm still trying to work out all of this shit."

[postictal]

"No problem," says Tim, pulling the words out with a dry undertone he doesn't entirely mean, but - whatever, right? Batting directionless one-liners back and forth is pretty typical for him, and probably more than acceptable for Seth.

Either way, it's kind of a relief to be standing on decidedly solid ground again.

"Not really the best guy for Wonderland trivia, but I guess I've been here long enough to know how shit can get."

[screwedontight]

He'd trapped himself in a car with Seth, and Seth had taken advantage of it, but he hadn't been malicious about it. He just wished he knew more about this place.

"I just want answers, not that I've found them yet. Of course, from what I understand, no one know anything. At least we have this," he notes. "Never know when I'll get to fly a car again."

[postictal]

"I'll keep my fingers crossed," Tim offers wryly, even if he's not hopeful that this'll be a frequent occurrence. Wonderland doesn't tend to dispense pleasant events like these very frequently.

He'll take it, though. For however long it lasts.

"Don't get arrested by any space cops, yeah?"

[screwedontight]

Seth snorts, giving a smirk at that. "I'll do my best." Which was definitely a plan given what else they had planned for the time in this place.

"Try and have some fun. Death could be right around the corner any time."

[postictal]

"Thanks for the reminder."

As if he needs it. He only sounds disgruntled in a purely desultory sense as he makes his departure with little more than a rolling shrug of his shoulders in lieu of a wave.
